How to purify water from phenol, dyes and other pollutants created by humans? You can add some reagent to the water, but it might result in even more problematic pollution.
And this is where photocatalysts come to rescue. These are semiconductor materials that, under the influence of ultraviolet light (special radiation or simply the Sun), promote the decomposition of difficult-to-oxidize pollutants, thus ensuring water purification.
